CAF Confederation Cup: the two-legged tie between CR Belouizdad and AS Douanes rescheduled

The saga surrounding the tie between CR Belouizdad and AS Douanes has finally come to an end.

Suspended following an appeal by Guinea’s Hafia FC to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the two-legged tie in the second preliminary round of the 2026-2027 CAF Confederation Cup has finally been rescheduled.

The CAS has ruled in favour of AS Douanes, thereby allowing the resumption of this initially suspended fixture. Both clubs now know the dates of their matches as they vie for a place in the group stage.

The first leg will take place on 23 November in Nouakchott, Mauritania, where AS Douanes will host CR Belouizdad. The return leg is scheduled for 27 November in Algeria, at Belouizdad’s home ground.

The two clubs will thus face off in a decisive battle to secure the final qualifying spot for the group stage of the 2026-2027 CAF Confederation Cup.
